The 13 aggrieved governorship aspirants of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ekiti State have said that the party should forget about winning the state if the leadership of the party ratifies former Governor Ayo Fayose as its candidate in the governorship election of June 21.
Senator Gbenga Aluko who spoke through the Director General of his Campaign Organisation, Mr. Tunji Olatunde said this in an interview with our correspondent on Sunday. Another aggrieved aspirant, Prince Dayo Adeyeye also said the same thing in a statement made available to our correspondent in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital.
The 13 aggrieved aspirants had dragged the party to court over Fayose and they boycotted the primary election which Fayose eventually won.
The DG of Aluko ruled out the possibility of his principal defecting to any political party, he also said that Aluko had held discussion with other 12 aggrieved aspirants and they all agreed that they would not move away from the PDP.
He said, ” PDP cannot win Ekiti State with Fayose and I am sure they know it.
Some party members even called Senator Aluko to find out if the PDP is serious about winning back the states in the South West. But we are appealing to them to be clam.
“We are calling on the President to intervene. We know that President Goodluck Jonathan is not around but he needs to act fast. The so called primary was a fraud. But we are not going to any party because we are stakeholders in the PDP. Senator Aluko has also talked with other aspirants and they all said that they would not defect.
Adeyeye in the statement described the primary poll as a fraud which he said could not stand while calling on Jonathan to intervene in the crisis no
